This Opportunity:
Palladium is seeking a COP for a potential 5-year USAID Kenya Integrated Pharmaceutical and Supply Chain Technical Assistance (KIPS) project. The Chief of Party (COP) will lead the Palladium team in achieving all project objectives. The COP will be the principle point of contact for the USAID Contracting Officer and will have the authority to make decisions on behalf of Palladium and will have primary accountability for project requirements. S/He will coordinate and liaise with other stakeholders, including government agencies, other donor-funded projects, implementing partners, and USAID and other donors. The COP will support timely implementation and reporting across all activities by working with technical leads and operations staff to maintain a general organizational order of all ongoing activities. This role requires strong project management and organizational skills and an understanding of how to translate theories of change and project workplans into day-to-day activities to achieve desired outcomes to ensure project success. The COP will also manage in-country project staff by providing direct supervision to senior project leadership.
